Feed the Hunger - Katy Gearing Up for 55th Anniversary Packathon

May 10 2023

The Katy community is invited to join Feed the Hunger - Katy in celebrating 55 years of ministry by becoming a missionary in your own backyard as Feed the Hunger continues to distribute food to some of the most vulnerable children and their families.

Throughout the month of May, CommUNITY Packathon Days will take place across the nation to create powerful change, including right here in Katy. On Wednesday, May 24, join fellow community members for two hours of meaningful, hands-on service at Redeemer Community Church from 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM. This Katy initiative has set a goal of packing more than 200,000 meals.

Registration is now open. To participate, register at feedthehunger.org/55thkaty. For those who are unable to physically attend but want to provide immediate help, please clickâ€¯here to provide meals for those in need through Feed the Hunger.

Looking Ahead

Feed the Hunger - Katy aims to pack 1.5 million meals locally in 2023. One of the many ways Feed the Hunger is trying to reach this goal is by hosting Golf to Give Back, a miniature golf play experience that provides an opportunity to enjoy a round with friends, family or co-workers while supporting Feed the Hunger.

Golf to Give Back will take place June 5-9 and registration is now open. Simply donate or raise $35 per person or $105 per family, which covers three or more players, to play at your favorite miniature golf course. Cost to play at miniature golf course is the responsibility of each golfer or family. Signup online at feedthehunger.org/minigolf. For more information about this initiative, contact regina@feedthehunger.org or bec@feedthehunger.org.
